Victoria Chow Biography

Victoria Chow is the founder of the cocktail bar and lifestyle brand, The Woods. Now the “Worlds First Nomadic Bar,” The Woods was a trailblazer for the artisanal cocktail and spirits scene in Asia upon opening in 2014. She was recently named Forbes 30 Under 30 and awarded the WSET & IWSC The Future 50 for her pioneering approach to drink concepts. Anticipating the city's now vibrant craft cocktail movement, Chow expanded operations in 2016 to include both KWOON, a canned cocktail brand, and The Woods Annex, a private 8-seater bar where she can continue to experiment and educate.

Chow comes from a background in event production and frequently incorporates this in The Woods' catering arm, Tailored by The Woods, which specializes in consulting luxury brands on one-of-kind F&B experiences at off-site events, as well as consumer activations for drink brands. She now focuses on consulting for bars and hospitality groups, teaching, producing original drinks content, and hosting tasting & appreciation sessions in order to elevate the understanding of and appreciation for the spirits craft.

Chow was born in California but travelled often between Hong Kong and San Francisco with my family before settling there for secondary school. She attended UC Berkeley where she studied Mass Communications and Art History.
